Overview
- Nick Reiner is in custody on two counts of first-degree murder for the mid-December 2025 stabbings of his parents and has pleaded not guilty.
- On June 9–10, 2026 Reiner filed a 136-page petition in Los Angeles probate court asking the trustee to release roughly $1.5 million that he says was contractually due to him.
- Reiner’s motion says the trustee blocked distributions, that the nonpayment forced the withdrawal of high-profile lawyer Alan Jackson, and that he now seeks an accounting and damages from the trustee.
- The disputed fund is one of three trusts Rob and Michele Reiner set up for their children in 1992 and, according to the filing, was structured to pay half at age 30 and the remainder at 35.
- How the probate court rules could determine whether Reiner can hire private counsel before a trial tentatively set for September 2026 and will be handled separately from the criminal case under estate-law standards.
